WIMBLEDON, England — In preparation for Wimbledon, Serena Williams took in a Green Day concert at Wembley Stadium and, with the Queen of England scheduled to visit the tournament Thursday, practiced her curtsy in front of the mirror.

Of Green Day, she gushed: “They were so close.”

Williams was much more animated on other topics. Like Green Day (she pronounced herself a “massive” fan). And The Queen (she does plan to curtsy, if given the opportunity, and she would welcome an introduction).

Green Day play the biggest show of their 'fucking lives' at London's Wembley Stadium

American pop punk trio also get into the World Cup spirit

The American punk pop trio played a mammoth two hour and 50 minute set from their 20 year backcatalogue featuring tracks and hits from seven of their eight albums as they peppered their set with pyrotechnics and shooting flames.

Arriving onstage to huge cheers, drummer Tre Cool charged down the catwalk before launching his drumsticks onto the main stage as the band kicked off the show with '21st Century Breakdown' opener 'Song Of The Century'.

Green Day will be coming home to the Shoreline Ampitheatre in San Francisco, CA on September 4th. The band will finish up the second leg of their U.S. Tour this Summer in their hometown with AFI before travelling to South America for the first time in nearly 10 years. Tickets will be $50 for reserved seats and $20 for the lawn. Just like all US Summer shows, these prices include all fees including parking. See you there!!!

What bands influenced you? —Katelynn See, INDEPENDENCE, KY.
A lot of Minneapolis bands like Hüsker Dü and the Replacements. After that, the Ramones, then the local punk-rock scene that we came from in Berkeley, Calif. There was this great compilation called Turn It Around! That was a pretty big record for me.

Why do you never seem to age? —Eldon Mills, CHESTERFIELD, ENGLAND[Laughs.] I definitely age. It's about trying to mentally keep yourself in a place where you're never resting on your laurels. That's the fountain of youth.
